forge your own character. BE righteous
ly brave. Let goodness be the touch
stone of your ambition, so that the end
sought shall prove worthy of your striv-
ing. Let righteous principle be appar-
ent in all your endeavor. When Gov.
Briggs of Massachusetts, at Washing
ton dinner, was urged to drink wine. he
declined. "Oh," said the host, "drink, if
only for the looks of it," 81 don't drink
for the looks of it, replied the old hero.
To every question there is right side ;
be sure to take it, and do not fear to tell
why. In great things or small, public
or obscure, be the same high-born soul.
Emerson says "the success of an empire
or of peanut-stand dates from an act of
courage" No matter what is your duty,
do it bravely,
Gyucc-lIave something to do; have
courage to do it: and have grace to
sanctify the means and the end; grace
to purify motives; a spiritual insight that
discovers the true meaning of all work,
and without which work is robbed of its
chief value. Grace to invest with per-
sonal responsibility. Edward 9Th, Eng
lands Josiah, when offered the sword of
state at his coronation, said, give me
as well the sword of the Spirit, the word
of God" And at Windsor castle he is
sculptured as pointing to the words in
that book of Josiah's conservation to holy
service. Would you win life's battle, let
faith disclose to you the dignity and
soemnity of your mission. Grace to dis
cover the duty nearest at hand. In the
picture. Procession of Unknown Powers.
Il youth, entranced by the splendor of
passing forms, yearns for some exalted
station of service; while at his feet lily
has bloomed and on his shoulder a chrys-
aid has formed its wings. Learn that
the truest service is rendered in the sphere
of present duty, however lowly. Do well
the little thing and God will give you the
larger. Grace to centre all in Jesus Christ.
TO win music from the Holian harp, tune
all the strings to one note, then the breath
of heaven will give the fullness of har-
mony. The one being in whom is all the
fullness of divine harmony Is our Lord
Christ. The Earring and discordant strains
of our lives caught up into this diviner
rhythm shall become forever musical
under the accents of a devout and godlv
service.
$50 close is glory to our dust
So near is God to man;
When duty whispers low, Chou must,

by Dry creek, fer the district between these two
The American river, which brea1s from the
granite foothills of the Sierra Nevada at Folsom,
drains watershed OF ,sW square miles. Inc
limits of this extend into the mountains PAN
shaped, and there is embraced in II the western
slope OF nearly fifty miles i'll an air line of the
S,e0o-feet high summit OF the Sierra Nevada
More than one-halg of IFS drainage area lies
abo-e the line which marks the lower limit of
snew fall. OF the vast quantity of snow which
annually falls in its catchment basin part
snelts rapidly With our warm winter or spring
rains producing the winter and spring freshets
well known to7all Sacramentans. The rest dis
appearing from the sheltered mountain slopes
less rapidly, keeps the river at a moderately
high stage &c the beginning of July, and there
after its supply gradually decreases, until its
lowest stage is attained some time in August or
September. As the mountain springs begin to
put forth their increased discharge IN October.
so about the same time the volume of the river
flow again increases to some extent. The low
wat stage, except for this tItiing increase, is
maintained till the first heavy rainfall OF winter,
which is generally expected in December.
The average annual precipitation of rain and
snow at Georgetown, in the catchment basin of
the American river Is about Go inches.
The drainage area of onsumnes river at the
base of the foothills is only $50 square miles mot
including Deer and Carson creeks). Its high
mountain drainage is relatively small, conse-
quently its discharge not so long sustained as
that of American river.
The river has its highest stages during the
winter months; it is continuously high during
April and May /; it generally has a good flow OF
water in June, and gradually fails during the
month of July. Very little of its water reaches
sacramento valley after August LIST.
The same remarks which have been made
concerning Consumes river apply with equal
force to Dry or Jackson creek, which. for some
distance, forms the southern boundary of this
county. Dry creek, however, has n drainage
area OF only 2s3 square miles, mostly low foothill
land.
CAPACITY OF WATER SUPPLY
Based on the most reliable authority availa-
BILE, on records of. the rods at Folsom on the
American river, and at Live Oak Suspension
Bridge in Costumes river, as well as on a num-
Der of measu' ements at various stages of the
rivers, and on personal inspection, have COM
piled the following estimate of the average
monthly discharge of these streams. The dis
charge is noted in cubic feet per second lone
